I’m a creative, professionally and recreationally, but now that I’m 35 I’m well on my way stopping consumption of alcohol even on weekends, and perhaps will only take edibles once in a blue moon, to pull myself out of reality, as it does something interesting to my creative process. Abusing these things is in my past, and Huberman has increasingly inspired me to focus on my physical and metal wellbeing the right way. Best wishes to both of you!

I've always found the use of drugs and alcohol in art interesting. Obviously lots of artists use it and I do think it can enhance creativity especially if they feel like they're in a sort or rut or something. However, once it becomes the "only way" for them to access their creative side is when you start to see an artist struggle.

I quit weed because of this podcast, and immediately quit playing music. And now that im back on the weed, im falling in love with music all over again.

This is relatable. I don't care much for music without weed. But honestly weed has plenty of cons

I’m there right now. Almost a decade with weed mixed with guitar playing. Have noted little breaks in weed greatly reduced my creativity and interest. That said, I’m positive many great players dont smoke and I’m inspired to find a different route to that rewarding door. I’m almost a week without smoking now and sticking to that notion. Ultimately, it’s also easy to just go back to it too. I’ll just say I’m testing myself pretty hard hoping for all around betterment in life. Wish me luck….

Standup paddle boarding down a nice river on a perfect sunny day while on mushrooms: highly recommended and pun intended.

Interesting to hear on Eye mask....these Psychedelic & similar things, take us to our Unconscious side. So one must avoid feeding sense given data or information as it can get directly impressed there. So in meditation, they say, one must learn to be non reactive to senses before entering meditative states. Senses can make Conscious mind to be "Ego driven" & this can be dangerous as it will not accept the realities in Unconscious level. This lead to conflict & lose control of life. Its addiction. So there must be extreme discipline & training before moving into Unconscious level. Thats where the "body less" things "Live" , or the shape shifters come alive when we are in there. They catch our Ego / Identity / Form to get educed out. The animals there dont know logic & they thus are extremely powerful. Dopamine driven, they can drain us. Dopamine without cortical strength (Training) is pure Mind - dark, powerful, expansive & addiction is result. Thats why one calls god from a deficient state, will receive deficiency only. Gods are driven by intensity of core feeling than our cortical logic. Thats our involuntary system. Desire must be based on deservability & so one must first make oneself deservable & then desire - Pay Attention. That is, spend energy (training) to Act so one can be Inactive....Inactive Act or Active Inaction. Yes, Eye mask cuts away senses ....

As a part of a clinical trial? Hmmm... Naughty Huberman

Rick is 61 but doesn't look a day over 75

Rick Rubin......living the dream. Can't play an instrument, write a chart or sing on key. Doesn't actually make artists do things over and over until it's better. Let's them decide when they're done and oftentimes just sits on the couch and listens nodding his head and then leaves the room. Red Hot chili peppers, system of a Down have both said this. I was totally tricked into thinking he was a genius and then I read his book and realized that he actually isn't producing anything. He's not coming up with any music. He's not coming up with any sounds. He just has a cool studio where people feel free to create. He's not actually part of the creative process. He doesn't create anything. He just waxes philosophically
